There could be a time when mom and her cat play a game of chase. Mom runs around the living room a bit and the cat follows her, and then they both collapse on the couch, tired but happy.
There could be many sweet stories about a mommy playing with a little cat. For example, the mommy might play with a ball of yarn with the cat, watching the cat pounce and jump around in amusement. It's a simple yet heartwarming interaction.
Maybe the cat got lost once and the little girl made missing posters and searched everywhere. Finally, she found the cat hiding in the neighbor's shed. It was a heart - warming reunion.
You can start by showing your mom that you are responsible. For example, always do your chores on time, be gentle with other small animals if you encounter them. This way, she may see that you are capable of handling the pet cat gently and carefully.
Maybe the mom hides the cat in a big box and has the daughter open it as a surprise.
Maybe the mom shows her daughter a cat cartoon suddenly when she comes home from school.
